Vaaranam Aayiram (Surya son of Krishnan) Movie Review

Cast: Surya, Simran, Sameera Reddy, Divya Spandana

Direction: Gautham Vasudev Menon

Music: Harris Jayaraj

Production: Aascar Films Ravichandran

The Movie:

Vaaranam Aayiram is a typical Gautham Vasudev Menon flick in which he derives his own life and hence the movie is close to his real life. The movie is a three hour long drama heavily poured with sentiments and emotions with some masala ingredients of Romance, love, comedy and at last preaches non- smoking strongly by giving a big tight slap to all the smokers who can face the harsh consequence of Cancer.

The Story:

Krishnan (Senior Surya) is Surya’s Father who is a middle class man and ventures out to USA in order to fetch his true love Simran. They marry and are proud parents of two siblings. Surya and his sister as told earlier get the inspiration and lesson from their parents that nothing is impossible in this world if your dedication and the holiness in heart are well pure.

With these principles, Junior Surya gets into his adult hood with a brief love phase in his life. He falls in love with Meghna (Sameera reddy) but the love ends as soon as it is started as Meghna decides to part her ways in order to pursue her professional dreams. She prefers to chase her dreams rather than accompanying Surya. Moved by this Surya regrets to be in love with Meghna and desires for a beloved who is in lines of his mother Malini (Simran).

Surya joins a defense cop career and is posted somewhere in Jammu and Kashmir. After a few reels of regular kidnapping and goon bashing drama, Surya’s heroic skills are well expressed. Unfortunately he is informed about his father Krishnan’s illness of cancer and leaves the base camp, to be with his family.

He immediately packs and moves to his family and realizes that his father Krishnan is ill and his mother Malini is shaken by this incident. But again, Krishnan inspires his son by his strong will power and determination to invade out through his illness.

Then Surya’s wife Priya (Divya Spandana) enters his life and they marry happily. But Krishnan’s illness deepens day by day and this makes him close to his grave. In a scene which is heart touching, where he tries hard to express something to his grandson, but fails to do as his Vocal Cords fail indicating the last stages of life.

Finally, the movie ends with a justified climax and this is a suspense which must be seen on the big screen.

The first half of the movie drifts away with nothing significant in the offing. In less than half-hour, it breaks into two songs. Surya (dad/son) falls in love twice and loses the love of his life. The second half, however, spruces up with the kidnap episode and the journalist rescue operation.

On the total, the movie is exceedingly sloppy drama which has zero for the mass crowds.

Performances:

Surya is awesome.plays the dual role of Krishnan and Surya, the way he lived the charecters,the way he moulded him self as a teenager,a loverboy,a well built army person& above all a 60year old dad shows his love & commitment to his job.
Simran plays the character of Malini who is a Pativratha to Krishnan. She plays the role with ease and takes on the limelight of this film.
Priya is the character played by Divya Spandana. The character demands some love, attitude and also sometimes emotions and Divya Justifies her character as a wife to Surya.
Sameera Reddy enters the life of the hero like a breeze and plays the character of Meghna. She moves around the trees with the hero and finally departs.

Verdict: Its a Surya Show...
